And listening to the rainBeat hard in the dark,Making music peal and ringOff of your glass-bottled wall.

Oh my goodness! The 2nd poem ever inspired by Mrs. Reynolds's cat! That a cat could inspire such poetry, it must have been named "Muse" Of course I'm joking, dks Great poetry as usual! Very sensual and emotive. I'm glad your dry spell is over. Let the poetical monsoon season commense!

But really?? Oh, how I DO love writing poetry (however bad it may be)...the Muse has been at least acknowledging my presence...

But wait.

There are a multitude of other Keats allusions in "Waiting." Did you guys spot them all?

Nice one dks. It's kinda dirty, did you read Song of Solomon beforehand or something?

I had wondered if someone would interpet it that way...

It wasn't meant to be that...but, yes, the undertone is there, isn't it?
